Embodiment Construction

[0014] Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

[0015] refer to figure 1 , an automated seed processing system is generally indicated at 10 . The exemplary seed processing systems and methods described herein are suitable for removing lint (eg, delinting) from a batch of cottonseeds using an acid, such as concentrated acid (eg, sulfuric acid). The exemplified seed processing system may also be adapted to eliminate, remove, kill and / or inactivate microorganisms and / or biological agents (e.g., fungi, bacteria, viruses, spore forms, prions, unicellular eukaryotes) on seeds Wait). Because the illustrated automated seed processing system 10 delints fluffed cottonseed, it may also be referred to herein as an automated seed delinting system.

[0016] The seed delinting system 10 includes a fluid distribution system, indicated generally at 12 , and a seed applicator system, indicated generally at 14 . ...

Abstract

A seed processing system for cottonseeds includes a fluid distribution system configured to sequentially dispense an acid solution, a base solution and a rinse liquid onto the cottonseeds. A seed applicator system defines an interior configured to hold the cottonseeds and receive the acid solution, base solution and rinse liquid dispensed from the fluid distribution system. The seed applicator system includes a rotor configured to agitate the cottonseeds in the interior as the acid solution, base solution and rinse liquid are dispensed onto the cottonseeds to effectuate mixing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to a small scale cotton processing system for testing a batch of cottonseed, for example in a laboratory type setup. Background technique [0002] The lint remaining on the cottonseed after the cotton product itself has been separated from the cottonseed is typically removed (eg, delinted) so that the delinted (eg, cleaned) cottonseed can be used in subsequent processes. [0003] Conventional methods for delinting fluffed cottonseeds in a laboratory type setup require cottonseed technicians to wear gloves and dip the seeds in concentrated acid. Using conventional methods, this volume of acid can only be used to delint a limited number of samples. Over the course of a given number of samples, the delinting machine shifted the acid to a thicker viscosity and the acid was less effective at delinting the seed. Spent acid wastewater is manually transferred from the acid delinting vessel to the wastewater system. ...
